157. The 8 Things I’ve Learned About Moms Who Struggle to Stay Tidy

The Slay At Home Podcast | Simple Homemaking Habits For Cleaning, Decluttering, Routines, Habits for Busy Moms

If you’ve ever looked around your house and wondered, “Why can’t I just keep it tidy?” — this episode is for you, sweet friend. In Episode 157 of The Slay At Home Podcast, Corinne pulls back the curtain on what she’s learned after coaching hundreds of overwhelmed, Type B, neurodivergent, and simply exhausted moms who are trying to find peace in their homes (and in their heads).

This isn’t another “clean with me” checklist or morning routine pep talk — it’s an honest, heart-centered conversation about the real reasons moms struggle to stay tidy and the deeper truths behind clutter, motivation, and self-worth.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
✨ Why most “messy moms” aren’t messy — they’re managing too much.
✨ How perfectionism and guilt keep you stuck in clutter cycles.
✨ What neuroscience and faith say about decluttering with compassion.
✨ The reason routines fail (and how to build rhythms that actually flex with your energy).
✨ How to stop tying your worth to your workload.
✨ Why small starts (like “the spoon method”) actually work for ADHD, Type B, and overwhelmed moms.
✨ How self-compassion rewires your brain for consistency and calm.

Corinne shares stories from her Declutter Bootcamp students, biblical encouragement, and relatable humor that reminds you:
You’re not behind — you’re rebuilding.
You’re not lazy — you’re learning to live lighter.

If you’re a busy mom craving a home that feels peaceful (without needing to be perfect), this episode will help you reconnect your heart to your homemaking.
